It’s good that guy survived the battle. But he was being used by the devil just as the government was. The Indians had every right to fight back for their survival. Most people in America at the time had nothing to do with the persecution of the Indians. It was the government that was the problem.that guy that survive was fighting for the wrong side.
This video is full of all kinds of inaccuracies, the biggest one being that he "survived Custer's last stand", he did not because he wasn't there, no white person that was an eyewitness survived to tell about it, before Custer led his men down into the trap that wiped them out he sent Martin to carry a message to one of his Captains in charge of a troop, it was with them that Martin found himself in a fight he survived, as far as what happened to Custer he wasn't there to witness it.
The Indians weren't entitled to any land they built nothing that lasted never invented anything that benefited society if the Europeans didn't settle America they would still be in the stonage
Oh really? That's interesting. For some reason I always thought it was around 10am. Not sure if I read that at some point or just assumed for whatever reason. Learn something new everyday lol.
Sgt. Martin was an Italian immigrant, who spoke poor English. In his original account; Sgt. Martin fails to say if he left Custer before or after Custer went down Cedar Coulee, which was lined with tall trees along one side. Sgt. Martin said, after leaving Custer, he heard a lot of gunfire. Sgt. Martin's horse was shot in the side during his trip across the top of the bluff. Sgt. Martin said, on the high bluff, he met Custer's younger brother, Boston Custer, who was not a soldier, coming from the opposite direction. Martin told Boston that Custer was just over the next ridge. Boston successfully joined Custer. This implies the Indians did not cut-off Custer from retreat at that moment; the thousands of Indians in ambush had not yet revealed themselves; and the gunfire at that moment was just skirmishing from a distance by a few Indians; likely to urge Custer in the desired direction; and Sgt. Martin left Custer from the bottom of Cedar Coulee or up on the ridge beyond it.__ __The Indians had been watching Custer all day. Custer traveled 1-mile above the river, high on the hillside. Even so, 7,000 warriors ambushed him. The large groups of dead soldiers mark the spots where the Indian ambush charges wiped them out in an instant. According to Frank Grouard in the book: "The Life and Adventures of Frank Grouard: Chief of Scouts". Grouard, a half-breed; lived with the Sioux for years, and knew the chiefs and hundreds of Indians who fought in the battle. The few soldiers who survived the ambush charges; shot their fellow soldiers upon request, and shot themselves, for their rightful, fear of horrible tortures. There were so many warriors, shoulder to shoulder, in the 1-mile square area, that a thousand boys and older men on horseback could not get into the battle.__ __The Indian side of the river was heavily wooded, 300-yards deep from the river. Many of the teepees were not visible in the trees. The Indians dragged tree-branches behind horses to stir-up a dust cloud. The Indians may have struck some of the teepees to the ground. The Indians were waiting.__ __When Reno approached the gap between the hills to his left, and the dense forest to his right; two thousand Indians were waiting in ambush; on horseback; half hidden in a canyon perpendicular to his left; and half hidden behind the trees behind the bend of the forest to his right. Had Reno not stopped; he would have been wiped-out too; instantly.__ __The Indians attacked General Crook's column a week earlier 15-miles away; for having scouts out looking for him and Custer.
Interesting, a number of inaccuracies in this account. Martin had either forgotten or was taking literary license to embellish the story for readers. Or, if this was a summary assembled by a journalist, THEY made up some things. Martin's actual story would have been fascinating to hear in detail, I wish they had stuck to the facts.
They did the same thing Curly, the Indian scout" I don’t believe curly said much of what was claimed. ‘ he wrapped a Sioux around him and got away. Ya, right.sounds Ike something a white man who knows nothing about the Indians would say.
US cavalry did not fight in squares and archeological investigation early in the 21st century after fires had burned off the prairie grass proved it. Fired 45/70 casings and fallen soldier markers demonstrated the men were in skirmish lines and not in squares. Martin was either making up as he went along or was reliving a Napoleonic era battle.
Martin did not see anything other than the attack at Medicine Tail Coulee. He delivered his message to Benteen with whom he stayed for the duration of the battle.
The "Indian village" photograph showed thatched-roof semi-permanent structures, not a tipi in sight, and the "buffalo" shown look like African, certainly not Bison.
The part where Custer said it would be an easy battle, just women and children and dogs, seems accurate. The Cheyenne called Custer “woman killer”, as was his policy to attack non-combatants.
Arctodouchebagimus: Custer was confident, but he never said it would be "an easy battle". Because his regiment caught the village unaware, the village was quiet, and Custer might have surmised the warriors were all out hunting, but he did not entertain this belief for long. I never read anything about the Cheyenne naming Custer "Woman killer". Nope, never came upon it, and I've read an awful lot of books (unlike you). But, in 1855, the Sioux called General William S. Harney "Woman Killer" after his command massacred a band of Brules under Chief Little Thunder in the Nebraska territory. I think you have your history confused. It was not Custer's policy to kill non-combatants. At the Battle of Washita, Custer's orders were to kill or hang all warriors, and to capture all women and children. Prior to the battle, Custer specifically ordered his men not to kill or injure the women and children. Custer was no Colonel John Chivington. Four years before the Washita, Colonel Chivington's soldiers butchered the Cheyenne and Arapaho natives camped along Sand Creek in eastern Colorado. Before the attack, Chivington told his men to "Kill the women, kill the children too; nits make lice!" Seems to me, unread morons like you tend to confuse Chivington with Custer. Again, your memory for accurate history is garbled. Were Cheyenne women and children killed at the Washita? Yes. Unfortunately, non-combatants will inadvertently get killed when their villages are attacked; it's tragic, but it happens. Be that as it may, many scholars and historians attribute most of the non-combatant deaths at the Washita to Custer's Osage scouts. See, the Osage and Cheyenne were hereditary enemies; and when it came to killing enemies, Native warriors were seldom discriminate - women, children, the elderly, all fell beneath their tomahawks. You're an idiot.
Memories are a funny thing. They change over time, especially when exposed to additional information. This account is an interesting combination of what was personally observed and what he heard afterwards. It is similar in detail to the testimonies offered by Reno, Benteen, and the other officers at the 1879 inquiry. Like all of the accounts it offers valuable insights, but it has to be taken in the proper context, and evaluated as such. To be honest, I am surprised at how accurate much of the account was.
How can he tell how it happened when he was not there everyone knows custers whole command was killed only after the fact did the others saw the aftermath I do not like anything that is not fact if your going to tell history get it right.
Even though custard still would’ve lost. If they would’ve kept their forces together, instead of splitting them up. And used more modern day repeating rifles. The Indians would’ve lost a vast majority of their soldiers. Custer and his men were in the wrong. What they did to the Indians was wrong.
The cavalry during the civil war just before Gettysburg were issued 7 shot carbines.after the war .July first , with the seven shot carbines held back the advance of the southern much longer than with the single shot carbines that were issued at the beginning of the war. General Custer also received these seven shot carbines and used them with great effect to hold their own. And drove Stuart from the field, stopping Stuart from hitting Mead’s force from a rear attack and changing the outcome of the battle of Gettysburg. But after the war. Better heads in Washington ( they thought they knew better) sole the better gun as war surplus. Custer was give the single shot carbine, that proved there were no better heads. Politics stink, it always did and it still does today.
It's easy to start at the end of battle or war and work your way backwards and see where they went wrong. Custer was following orders to get the Indians back on the reservations. Only today we see it as wrong. Hindsight is a good thing
The approximate number of Indian warriors present that day might have been 2,000-3,000 at the most. Based on the number of teepees sighted. And from what the Crow scouts and Sioux had to say.
Totally inaccurate McDougal guarded the pack train Ben 10 was ordered to do a left oblique to search for The Village Reno was told to cross the river and charge the village and Custer would support him with his whole battalion
You're right... He was not on last stand hill.. this is nowhere near accurate. He was the last trooper to see the 5 companies.. Reno, Benteen never got into the last fight on last stand hill.
Captain McDougal commanded B company which was assigned as the regimental rearguard. Lt. Edward G. Mathey was the officer assigned to be in charge of the pack train and its permanent personnel. When asked at the court of inquiry about the "effective force" McDougall had "with the pack train that day," McDougall replied, "My company was composed of about 45 men, and there were about 80 men belonging to the pack train, and 5 or 6 civilian packers.
OMG, this is SO inaccurate, and made up! Obviously written by someone who has blended a bunch of recorded observations, along with various suppositions over the years...... I've read some statements from "John Martin": he knew he got really lucky that day! His English was very poor at the time.
The dead buffalo pictures are not of North American Bison. The structure in the photo looks African or India Indian. It would be very easy to get photos that are actually of the subject matter.
How George Custer became an army general is shocking. He lacks honour, a liar, a thief, a deceitful character whose tactics are to ambush women, children, and old folks and hold them hostage as human shield to fight.
This is most surely AI generated content! Many inacurrarcies, wrong pictures, typical AI voice, which i heard on some other channels. Sure signs for AI working... don't watch this!
Outside of the pictures being wildly inaccurate, the sequence of events described here does not jive with what we know of that day. If the rest of the stories on this channel are like this, I see no reason to subscribe.
Totally inaccurate .. There are far better accounts .. Trumpeter Martini, he of the last message fame, left Custer’s column before Custer’s battle began. I suggest you read one of the comments posted in a RUclips extract / presentation of Little Big Man. for a more ( possibly as we will never know ) accurate account. 👵🇦🇺🇺🇸
This seems ai generated. And i don't believe Martini could have "recently retired" as our "narrator" states. Hes long, LONG retired. Rest In Peace Sir Martini, God Bless
His Last Name was Martinni. He wanted to be an American and assimilate as well did the other's that day. From all over Europe they came to fight and die for the United States. I dont think that same feeling for America is prevalent in the migration of today.😢
AFAIK there was a single person to survive actual hostile fire in the battle, though the circumstances and the individual himself were heavily censored. The soldier reported that his horse had started into a gallop at the same time the he was seriously wounded causing the soldier to be carried away from the fight. There followed a tale of being a wounded soldier alone on the prairie with indians seeking after him. He found shelter and was tended by a kind of hermit whose hovel he came across. He later made his way into Wiscosin or Minnesota. I believe that the story was surpressed because it could not be proven that the soldier had not run from the battle in its earliest actions and deserted. Just sayin......
Tell that to Native Americans. I’ll call them buffalo too. Common names can be whatever you want. Genus and species names are what’s important in identification.
Regardless what the proper name is , those bloody bovines 2:01 look nothing like anything that walked > north America or anywhere else for that matter 😂> American Bison NO , south African Cape Buffalo NO , Asian water Buffalo NO !
Bogus information from Artificial Intelligence. This is saying that Benteen and Reno went and saw Custer's command wiped out. That never happened. Benteen and Reno stayed some 2 miles away at Benteen/Reno Hill. It wasn't until 2 days later that a different command went down and saw Custer's men wiped out.
These images/artwork are all messed up. Cactus and mesas? Cowboys? Asian Buffalo? Civil war battle scene @ 4:32? Modern day soldiers on horseback wearing helmets @ 5:18? Poorly done
Yes, sometimes death can be minutes away without concern. The grace gospel is so very important for salvation 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and also read Ephesians 2:8-9. Do not think it takes a battle for death to come, maybe only a vaccine.
I have read volumes on the battle & the preliminaries leading up to it. This account is full of errors when compared to the accounts given by Philbrick & others. Giuseppe Martini did not witness the battle, neither did any from Reno's group all the did was hear intense gunfire. I personally feel that "Wildwestfaces" offers some of the best info on lots of wild west stuff.
I do wish the creator(s) of the video hadn't utilized so many stock photos of cowboys and Native Americans that seemingly had nothing to do with the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The narrator's voice was interesting to hear but the historical inaccuracies provided a very sour note on the whole video. I won't be subscribing if this video is characteristic of the work by History Cases. Sorry.
The only...white man??? There were far more indians that would have known more and seen more and done at the Greasy Grass Battle than this...white man. Far better to get the facts, if truth is what you are truly seeking, no matter the source.
Custer shot himself in the head first and the shot in the chest came second from an Indian as they were witnessed shooting towards the ground because the dead grey horses were protecting Custers chest as he took cover and fired making only his head visible, he had the privilege of getting the most cover, his men surrounded him and the two dead horses as the gravestones suggest, when Custer saw that he had a few men left he shot himself in the head.....
Did you see him shoot himself ? Custer was right handed & was shot in the left temple. Does that seem reasonable to you ? Also many people who saw Custer 's body said that there were no powder burns .
Custer’s Fall is a very good book. I read it years ago, 1st edition, since then I have read three or four times. I don’t believe that was Custer who was sho at the river. That does sound good, maybe even reasonable but I believe some other officer may have been dressed similarly, it was him that was shot. I believe another book doses cover this piece, who or what book? Hey, I’m 78, I read too much. I’ll remember that someday. Not right now.
It’s good that guy survived the battle. But he was being used by the devil just as the government was. The Indians had every right to fight back for their survival.

The timing of the Battle is wrong. Custer's dismisse on last stand hill was between 4pm to 5pm that day.
Oh really? That's interesting. For some reason I always thought it was around 10am. Not sure if I read that at some point or just assumed for whatever reason. Learn something new everyday lol.

Martin wasn't with Custer during the Last Stand.
The whole vid was a farce.

Yep, and this production takes his claim at face value.
course he was.You wouldnt know if your arse was on fire

Oh there was worse than that
so what are you a child? You think there was a camera on site?

It’s “Benteen”. And Reno had probably been drinking.
Utterly inaccurate and should be taken down in the interest of historical fact. Extremely misleading. Shameful!
There are so many of these stories, I have read the minutes of the military investigation into the battle, there was more than one survivor.

What a pile of buffalo chips.
Never relinquish your means of self-defense
Custer expected his usual attack on old men, women and children but faced real warriors and lost big time

Rear guard? Never heard this before. 🤷♂️
Wildebeest. They aren't even any form of buffalo, let alone bison, and definitely not in USA.
This account isn't entirely accurate. But his account of Custer'scwounds exactly matches that of Dr. Porter who supposedly saw Custer's body as well.
Yall NEVER should have engaged!! Damnit. The destruction that follows is absolutely THE MOMENT this country was cursed
Most soldiers did not wear cowboy hats...

The website Astonisher has many primary source documents regarding the Little Big Horn, including Reno’s official report.
"Horsesh!t!" - Commanche
He was not shot in the side of his head!!!
He was shot in the left temple to insure death. No one knows if it was from an Indian or a soldier but he was definitely shot in the head.
This seems ai generated. And i don't believe Martini could have "recently retired" as our "narrator" states. Hes long, LONG retired. Rest In Peace Sir Martini, God Bless

pitiful CGI images.

Wrong kind of buffalo. Pictures from Asia and the southwest? Not one pic of Montana.
I must say Benteen did hurry but not much fast. And did not really insist on heading to Custer.

Got too suck too be the 2 messengers that were turned down to deliver the message.
lol !!
Trumpeter Martin was a member of Benteen's Company H, so logical to send him with a message to his own captain
There are no buffalo in the United States, there are only Bison.
And there are no giraffes in Africa.
Tell that to Native Americans. I’ll call them buffalo too. Common names can be whatever you want. Genus and species names are what’s important in identification.
Regardless what the proper name is , those bloody bovines 2:01 look nothing like anything that walked > north America or anywhere else for that matter 😂> American Bison NO , south African Cape Buffalo NO , Asian water Buffalo NO !
A pretty self serving account by Martini
This video is a bunch of Cow Cookies !
The photos are ridiculous...dead wildebeest as bison, cowboys instead of cavalry, an Indian with a sword, etc.
1:09 "the morning of the 26th" . I believe they were all dead on the 25th.
Why are they using photos of the Serengeti on a video about the American west
Was that Custer ( bald guy with beard
?) in the room with his staff? Uh!

I THOUGHT CUSTER WAS THE ONLY SOLDIER LEFT STANDING, AND WAS LAST SEEN SWINGING HIS RIFLE, " OLD BETSY " AT THE ON COMING INDIANS.😢
This is a professional video relaying true facts?
Discovery was 25th. Not 26th
Bullshit, a real joke. couldn't watch past the "water Buffalo" picture. Martini could barely speak English in 1876.
Yes, sometimes death can be minutes away without concern. The grace gospel is so very important for salvation 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and also read Ephesians 2:8-9. Do not think it takes a battle for death to come, maybe only a vaccine.

Boring! Only for americans!
It's NOT Bentine! It's BENTEEN!
Waste of time don't bother knows nothing about history
Stupid Graphics....👎👎
Not authentic
Much respect I have for native American people. This video is not good, it feels like a pizza hut/bbc collab.
Morning of the 26th ? No
Nice story but not all there. And what's with the illustrations related to this event? Thumbs down.
LJ!!!!!!
I do wish the creator(s) of the video hadn't utilized so many stock photos of cowboys and Native Americans that seemingly had nothing to do with the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The narrator's voice was interesting to hear but the historical inaccuracies provided a very sour note on the whole video. I won't be subscribing if this video is characteristic of the work by History Cases. Sorry.
Damn this was a good video!
It was horrible.
Not even a bit of it
Obviously you watched a different video than this load of rubbish
Think we perfer pack of wolf's/warriors/ braves/ savages!! Hahaha
The only...white man???
There were far more indians that would have known more and seen more and done at the Greasy Grass Battle than this...white man. Far better to get the facts, if truth is what you are truly seeking, no matter the source.
testimony very inaccurate
Didn't answer the question.
See below.
This story is not whay happened. Cmon man. Sone English speaking dude!
That's spelled "Benteen."
There is no account of the nearby Indian village where all women and children were slaughtered prior to the battle,
Bentine?
Ai imagery is laughably terrible.
This is horse hockey.
Custer shot himself in the head first and the shot in the chest came second from an Indian as they were witnessed shooting towards the ground because the dead grey horses were protecting Custers chest as he took cover and fired making only his head visible, he had the privilege of getting the most cover, his men surrounded him and the two dead horses as the gravestones suggest, when Custer saw that he had a few men left he shot himself in the head.....
Did you see him shoot himself ? Custer was right handed & was shot in the left temple. Does that seem reasonable to you ? Also many people who saw Custer 's body said that there were no powder burns .
He was killed at the river his men took him to this supposed last stand hill Custer was dead his men disorganized and leaderless
Custer’s Fall is a very good book. I read it years ago, 1st edition, since then I have read three or four times.
I don’t believe that was Custer who was sho at the river. That does sound good, maybe even reasonable but I believe some other officer may have been dressed similarly, it was him that was shot. I believe another book doses cover this piece, who or what book? Hey, I’m 78, I read too much. I’ll remember that someday. Not right now.
The bones were scattered all over they don't now who is in what grave take the skull they claim is Custer and DNA it
Rubbish. Wounds were on his left side. Custer was right handed
Custer another Yankee who got what he desired
All crap!!!
